Correlations

In relation to social class, my research shows a significant correlation between class status and internship experience. Those in higher socioeconomic classes at the upper tail of the stratification system definitely had more positive experiences interning. It is also fair to that this group had participated in a higher number of internships. While those on all different points of the spectrum felt that internships were vehicles for corporations to exploit student labor, those who were in more comfortable and leisurely social classes felt this was less of the case. In response to the question whether internships were more discriminatory toward lower income students, those who were at the lower end of the socioeconomic spectrum composed the majority of affirmative answers.
